Roland owes you a commission. I've looked at pretty much EVERY SINGLE review of the TR-8S, but your video here convinced me to buy one. Thank you. Can't wait to get it and explore some sound designs.
I was just watching your video about the TR Editor. You showed the one morph control in the FM section. Can't wait to get to the spot in the video today and see your reaction! Massive fan of Roland (minus their customer support) They may move slow but they put out quality. I am excited to see what comes down the road with the MC 101 and 707 and TR Editor. Going to pour another cup of coffee and finish watching. Thank you for what you do.
Nice video! What I want from Roland is a sampler to compliment the TR-8S/ Aira range (yes, ok we’ve got the SP-404 mk2) but something more inline with TR-8S!
The new fattener master FX can make the 909 kit sound more authentic, thicker in the low-mids like the original. That thing the real 909 has but no emulation has, if you know what I mean. Transient FX on the clap is a must in order to achieve this. Very nice update
The FM control was very limited. Useful, and quick, but limited. The new parameter control for the FM is so helpful for designing original sounds, beyond modulating the ACB behavior - which is also limited lol. Love the 8S though. It's been the backbone of my music since I got it.
I'm a big Roland fan, infact I'd say they are without doubt my favourite electronic instrument brand, and I've been buying their instruments, and effects, since the mid 80s, but... It's a shame they couldn't find a way to implement some more useful, and coveted, effects algorithms. Roland have a superb history of classic effects, and have in recent years revived them in many of their BOSS products. It would have been nice to see some SRV, RE-201, RSS or even DEP-5 algorithms added in a stripped back format. It's still a great machine, but I must admit I haven't installed the last update yet, and probably won't bother with this one either, - if they add some more ACB sounds in the future, that will probably force my hand. I guess personally, other than using the onboard Overdrive effect and Delay, most of my processing is external anyhow, so it doesn't stop me from getting the sounds that I want, but it would just be a nice touch, to have some classic Roland effects available internally, especially considering that it is such a worthy machine, IMO. love to ALL, feel no hate
Hi E Can you tell me once I go to a blank set up and hit BD and push the instrument button it read 909 Bass 1. How do I get to the new fm drum sounds on the Tr 8s. Can you please help me
Hi thanks a lot for all your vidéos i love my tr8s and i want to use the tr editor but i don't find the way to install it .I think i need a laptop connected to internet i hope it's like the Mc editor for my mc909 and 808. I know you speak french if you want to make some tutorials (on tr8s sh01a or system 1 ) in french do it!!
Bonjour Laurent , pour installer le firmware 2.5 , il faut télécharger le fichier du site de Roland, le de « Ziper » et le déposer sur une carte SD. Placer cette carte dans le TR8s. Éteindre le tr8s. En gardant le bouton SHIFT appuyé, allumer le tr8s. La procédure est ici :www.roland.com/fr-ca/support/by_product/tr-8s/updates_drivers/8d6dd357-a4a8-42b5-8ad8-15c54286562a/
@@Nu-trix merci pour ce rapide retour mon problème n'est pas pour installer le firmware c'est pour utiliser le tr editor je bosse sur un ordinateur fixe avec juste mon daw dessus et sans connexion avec internet comme il faut passer par Roland Cloud je pense qu'une connexion internet est indispensable encore merci pour tuto très riches en bon conseils
glad they gave us some cool features, but i still want generic USB mode, isn't it obvious, since you could connect it with Zenbeats on your iPad? come on Roland, you can do it!!!
it would be nice to assign the master EFX knob and fader, because i'd like a compressor on the master out, but i don't want to change it, at all. i'd rather have the master knob and button control something other than the master compressor.

So happy with my TR8s.
Wow this is game changer, it started to be different machine.
BTW it was awesome before.
Thank you for video 😍

Wish there was more LFO's & the ability to use the velocity pad as a 2nd shift button....Great demo.
amazingly helpful... thanks
Very useful resource. Thanks!

Out of interest what’s your workflow for making full songs with it? I would usually use song mode but not sure what people are doing without it
thanks fr the video.... merci à toi de la france ;)
Avec plaisir 😁
@@Nu-trix je viens d'acheter mon tr8s joie 😊💪💪💪
Now I want one even more :)
Love the coloured buttons and slides… where you find them, very cool
Got them directly from Roland … while they still sold them.
Great upgrade Roland! But please dont forget to upgrade roland integra 7...we need ability to load user sampler to our integra
as soon as I saw the new firmware....I was hoping you'd do a deep dive. ....
It's just a matter of time ;-)
Love your knobs
It’s the official Roland coloured knobs. They’re discontinued now.
They are not 6 new presets, they are 6 new FM machines, like the Elektron machine drum had.

you should really do the update my dude, FM tones are worth it...
The probability is worth the update alone
Percentage probability is not enough. You need to be able to dial fixed chances to sound.

Turn simply turn the value to go through the Instuments list.

show what can be done on Uno synth pro using only FM synthesis
Ok, I’ll put that on my short list of TODO’s
Hi do i need to install the previous updates in succession or can i jump straight to version 2.5 please ? Thanks for the support.
The info is provided with the firmware itself.
@@Nu-trix Ok thanks - guess i'll mosey on over to the Roland Corral and git maself an update pardner,yeeehaaaagh !
Still no start/stop on the editor. Why is this such a hard ask?
I think it is designed not to be a remote but as a editor. There are so many ways to remote start the TR-8s.
@@Nu-trix Yup. Have to run Ableton on my screen just to have a start stop. Talk about overkill.
@@Nu-trix when my hands are on the keyboard, I want them to stay on the keyboard. I must be getting old and grumpy.
